What. You do realize that China has made multiple extortionist contacts with African nations in exchange for infrastructure, while they get mining rights and no supervision to continue their slavery? Depending on the source they have like twice as much mining capacity compared to all Western nations combined.
Proprietary spare parts. The motors might be off the shelf so you could grab parts from a different manufacturer. But controllers and batteries are usually proprietary making repairs much more complicated and cost-inefficient
I have a Samsung ultra lux 128 for at least 6 years now, and it’s been holding up perfectly. Only the metal sheet above the port got bent a bit.

so I had to bend it back with a screwdriver, however it actually does lay flat

next to keys which is pretty nice
Discord doesn’t delete chat logs AFAIK, however one of the permissions prevents you from reading things from before you joined a server/channel
Nope. He was successful because of nepotism, a bit of luck, and being born into a position where he could apply what he was good at. Being a “hard worker” will only get you sick.
In theory he isn’t allowed to. Practically he is, which is just as bad IMO
Yeah, no idea how I didn’t read that part 😅🤦
I doubt all his equip etc. will be enough to cover the 1 billion. So any and all patreon income could be confiscated as well.
Try out boost (for Lemmy), and if you like it there’s a small one time payment option to support the Dev and remove ads
Customers. Seriously, how absolutely incapable are some people. I wish I could force some of them to write down all the questions they have, make them watch a 5 minute YouTube video and then only bother me if they still need help. Jesus Christ it’s a hardware store not kindergarten where I’ll take you by the hand and tell you not to eat the crayons.
It’s a packaging bug, the headline is false.
I consider this art.
Even Thunderbird has a better spam filter after you train it for a few days.
I have two Fenix lights that both have 2 buttons, one on/off and a second mode selector.
The LD12 is perfect as a daily although the side/mode button is kinda awkward to use, the main button is perfect though.
My PD35R is a bigger one that’s really bright, but also too big for normal carry, so I only use it for work when it’s too dusty to see. It has 2 buttons on the back, one small one for mode selection and a nice big one to turn it on/off.
I don’t remember how I did it, but I could swear that I got chirp to run on Mint
Who’s censoring anything??
So instead of calling out your mechanic you’d just let them burn your car and say nothing?
Also, it’s not brigading as there hasn’t been (AFAIK) anyone asking other people to downvote.
Right now you’re defending the car mechanic because other people complain about him burning down cars??
Edit: So your advice is, run away and never (try to) change anything bad that you see in the world?
Because the information of the bot isn’t trustworthy. It highly prefers colonial and right wing media.
Dunno which one it was exactly but IIRC the guardian got a “likely factual” or something rating because a few years back they did a mistake and corrected it a few weeks later. While other right wing media get the same rating despite posting straight up invented articles and facts without corrections.
If my mechanic sets my car on fire I don’t have to be a mechanic to know that that’s a shitty thing to do.
Why would I have to program a better bot just to criticise the (shitty) existing one?
